There are some indeterminate issues with icedtea as far as I'm concerned. I couldn't get it to work as a plugin at all. I did get Sun's Java installed and working however (if you want those instructions let me know). The last step of that is to remove nspluginwrapper. That seems to make Sun's plugin work, you might try it.
I'd be interested to hear how you got Sun's Java working, it's eluded me so far.
Hi Jon,
I have been using Sun's JVM for quite some time now (over quite a few releases). First up install the Sun's Java Env. Then, a little lesser known fact is that you need to have compat-stdc++ also installed. Finally, just link /usr/java/jdkx.x.x_xx/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ and then restart firefox.
And oh yeah, I also pathmunge that java path (in /etc/profile).
Thats all that there is to it.
Still downloading Fedora 8. Once I have it installed shall toy around with IcedTea too.
later, Rogue
I tried rebuilding from JPackage nosrc RPMs (with my F7 spec file), but the resultant packages want the XFS font server installed..
I've also tried installing the Sun binary RPM and the -compat RPM from JPackage, the plugin showed up in Firefox, but I never got any applets to start up..
Thanks, Jon.
